2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day

[Hong Kong Raider]

That was Simi with his slack defence. Unfortunately he's not a FG footballer

[-PJ-]

Rickys pressa will be unforgettable..

[Ultima]

And then we let them score again like they are playing against children...

[Pete Cash]

I'm loathe to go too hard on a young spine player trying to find his feet in firsts, but for a guy who's not particularly quick, agile, or large, Chevy Stewart will need to start bringing skill to the fore quickly. Being brave doesn't make you an NRL fullback.

It's his third game champ

[Billy Walker]

Need to get the big guns back on Papa, Levi and Tarps

[Um Jammer Lammy]

Sisagi is dreadful.

[afgtnk]

Sasagi is a **** awful defender laterally. Horrid.

He's 18 and there is no structure for him to bring that to the table
Being brave and physically handling this level is about all i need from him at this stage

[Seiffert82]

Yeah, Siasagi.

Not good.

Sasagi. Can’t do that mate. Get up off the line.

[The Greenhouse]

54th min Sharks 40/20. Still can’t believe the awful set at the other end. Savage ball watching.

TRY SHARKS to Nicho Hynes. Terrible goal line defence from Sasagi. Hynes converts his own try.

Sharks 30-0

[benda]

Why is it that we don't even look like scoring in attack?
Crazy.

[-TW-]

What does Ricky do at training???

We have a **** attack
We have a **** defence

Does he just show them how to bleed green???

You're really expecting a glorified reserve grade team to compete with a team who's 5-1?

Starling needs to be dropped theres no two ways about it, woolford needs to be picked and be starter.
Hudson needs to be dropped for who? I dont know or care and weekes has done his game, he can go back to nsw cup and throw cook in at 7

I haven't seen anything in attack that suggests he will be a top tier FB or even better than CNK

This issue has been raised, but Love4Noa won’t tolerate any of it.

[mikeraider]

It's a training gallop for the sharks, very bad line defence, horrible any other words can't describe it, must our injuries, God we miss Rapana energy

Not sure how Stewart is the bloke we pick out of this game to be criticised.

What do Hudson Young and Smithies offer?

Absolutely nothing other than making up numbers

If the first Sharks game was embarrassing this is certainly equal to it. We've completely lost our way. Levi, Starling are Canberra Raiders Cup level players. We could realistically get the spoon if this is what we dish up for the next 12 weeks.

[The Greenhouse]

Certain loss now… but the finger can’t be pointed at the younger brigade…

[PNGRaider37]

This is just sad ...Ive barely heard the crowd since the opening minute

[Mickey_Raider]

I couldn’t give a **** about losing the game. I had zero expectations and our spine has about 20 games of experience. I also fully understand and expect we are going to slide down the table over the remainder of the season.

But being inexperienced doesn’t explain or excuse paper thin defence and the same putrid non-existent attacking structure we have seen for 10 years.

Sharks have done pretty much nothing special and will rack up 50 on us here.

[dubby]

I'm thinking next week we see Cotric and Hoppa in over Schiller and Savage

[Green Machine]

Can’t believe I ordered the bloody jersey. Doubt I’ll ever wear it. I hate this club.

[radicalraider]

This is great.. hope they get 50.. expose the fraud that coached 500 games to no avail

[mikeraider]

PLEASE score at least one try raiders

If you actually read the thread you’ll see nearly everyone except Timoko has copped plenty of criticism

[Botman]

Starling finding touch and really controlling the tempo of the game there!

Got nothing to do with that.

Today we have been useless in attack and our defence has been non existent

We don't even look like scoring this week

We should at least be expecting a bit more than this. This has been a truly pathetic performance

[The Greenhouse]

60th min Try saving tackle from Schiller in the corner.

15,820 the official crowd.

I've taken all that into consideration. Just saying, a guy who is at a natural disadvantage with limited physical attributes, in a comp where you're up against the athleticism and skill of Walsh, Ponga, Trobjevic, Tedesco et al, you need to have A LOT up your sleeve (think Gutherson), lest you want to find yourself in the bottom 2-3 players in the position.

I blame Stewart.

I have a feeling we will be saying this a lot

I said last week they we could get the spoon and nothing in this performance indicates otherwise. Our spine is either too young or not very good and we don’t have the quality of players around that spine to overcome that.
